A guide to tap technique, rhythm, and routines

Michael Fink’s guide maps tap dance from foundational steps to advanced drills and performance preparation. Its scope connects footwork with musicality, rhythm, and improvisation, then turns toward building routines for solo, partner, or group performance. The book also covers practical elements of practice, including exercises for strength and flexibility, shoe selection, and maintaining health. Alongside technique, it addresses tap as artistic expression, with material on stage presence, developing an individual style, and common challenges such as performance anxiety and plateaus. With more than 24 chapters, it presents tap as both a physical discipline and a way to shape rhythm into performance.
